The fear of Jehovah's deserved displeasure, and expectancy of mercy
In Psalm 6 the remnant take another ground. They are oppressed,
their soul vexed, the extremity of distress presses on their
spirit, and their conscience not being cleared gives the fear that
Jehovah might be against them in anger, and they look that Jehovah
should not rebuke them in anger nor chasten in hot displeasure,
which they had as a nation deserved but which the redeemed heart
deprecates. But they look to be saved through mercy and saved from
death, and call on the wicked to depart, for Jehovah has heard.
